Seeing Yun Xian's rage, everyone hurriedly pulled her down again, saying, "Don't be angry, don't be angry..."
After pulling one down, another one popped up. Jimo Shu angrily said, "What kind of rubbish list is this?!"
It goes on and on, like a game of whack-a-mole.
But Yun Xian couldn't swallow this. She didn't care who was above her, except Zhong Changyao! This was simply a huge insult!
Seeing that she couldn't calm down no matter what, Ji Rongxue opened her mouth wide and took Yun Xian's head into her mouth.
Yun Xian’s eyes went dark: “…”
What’s going on? It feels so warm and moist, as if I’m back in my mother’s arms.
The effect was so good that Xue Lingxiu decided not to touch her head again for a week.
The second and first floors were connected, not isolated from each other. The people below had already heard the noise from the second floor and were immediately displeased: "You call the Heroes' Ranking the Broken Ranking?! What other ranking in the world would you be satisfied with? I'm afraid you're furious because you didn't get the rank you wanted!"
Qiao Lingshan complained, "Who is this ninety-ninth place? I've never seen them before. How did they manage to get this high a ranking?"
There was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of laughter:
"Were you living in a cave these days? This incident has caused such a huge uproar, and you didn't even know about it?"
"That's Zhong Changyao! You're so uninformed!"
“That’s right!”
“…”
Finally, the group pieced together Zhong Changyao's recent achievements from the fragments of information below.
It took at most twenty days from the time he went to the Lotus Seat to the time he resolved the Smiling Buddha incident. During these short twenty days, he went from being unknown to becoming famous. Of course, it was not because he really solved some earth-shattering incident. In short, it was because of his two perfect skills.
One relies on good luck, the other relies on living off women. The combination of the two is unparalleled in the world.
Previously, when he was in Tangling Country, he was taken away by that strange and powerful person and disappeared, thus preventing the princess and Yun Xian from causing trouble for him. During the Fenghua incident in Qiankun City, he also remained silent.
But as expected, things still proceeded with difficulty according to the description in the storybook, but in a different way -
Zhong Changyao "accidentally" strayed into the demon clan's territory these days, and "unintentionally" uncovered the demon clan's conspiracy to seize the human clan's territory. He also "happened" to catch up with the demon fox clan's princess who was about to marry the demon tiger clan's prince.
Due to their reproduction and bloodline, the demon tribe's population is smaller than the human population, but the undercurrents within it are no less turbulent than those of the human race. The princess of the demon fox tribe is named Shu Jiuwei. Although she and the demon tiger prince are childhood sweethearts, she actually has no feelings for him. However, the leaders of both tribes had already arranged the marriage when the two demons were young. Under the pressure of public expectation, Shu Jiuwei had no choice but to obey.
But in her heart, she was unwilling after all. In her heart, Shu Jiuwei always felt that her destination was not right here.
So on the wedding day, Zhong Changyao showed up in a dignified manner. Not only did he forcibly take Shu Jiuwei away in public, he also exposed the conspiracy of the demon clan which was still in its infancy. The prince of the demon tiger clan chased after him, and the man and the demon fought for hundreds of moves in the most lively area in an instant. In the end, Zhong Changyao narrowly won at the critical moment!
As soon as Yun Xian heard the name Shu Jiuwei, he understood. He was truly impressed by Zhong Changyao. Even if he was hanging on the wall, he could still stir up trouble. However, in the storybook, the demon clan's conspiracy only gradually emerged in the later stages, when Shu Jiuwei was already married. Because of this, Zhong Changyao and her were only briefly related and he didn't take her into his harem.
It's true he wants both. On the one hand, he finds it more exciting to see a married woman betrayed, like a stamp collector, while on the other hand, he despises her for not being a virgin... oh, or a virgin. The author of the story went to great lengths to preserve Shu Jiuwei's chastity, even going so far as to make the demon tiger prince impotent.
I've never heard of a demon being able to hold back from having sex! Can you be a little more realistic? Do you think demons are human?! Demons are so incredibly powerful sometimes!
"..." Jimo Shu said coldly: "That prince of the demon tiger tribe is not even at the Spirit Severing stage, what kind of person is he?"
Forget Zhong Changyao! Even if she went, she could beat the tiger demon to a pulp. So far, the demon tribe has barely made a plan and hasn't even started! Of course, that's not to say Zhong Changyao hasn't made any contributions. But forget about the Smiling Buddha incident. It's not even as difficult as the Tang Ling Rebellion. How could he have made it into the top 100 with just this?
This is not fair!
Yun Xian said with certainty: "Someone is operating in secret."
Qiao Lingshan: "I thought he had long ago returned to the East Realm to farm, but he actually dared to come..."
Feng Ye: "Dirty tricks! Dirty tricks!"
"..." Xue Lingxiu said, "Can you wait for one person to finish speaking before continuing? Isn't it noisy if you keep talking at the same time?"
I don't think so. They always quarrel with others but not themselves. Ji Rongxue was still reading the list of heroes from top to bottom when his ears twitched and his eyes flashed towards the window.
A tall figure wearing a bamboo hat easily climbed in from the second-floor window, sat down by the window, and skillfully poured wine into a cup, saying, "Xiao Yunxian, you are still too young."
It was Xiao Yuan. No one knew what she was doing every day, being so elusive.
"...Pavilion Master." Yun Xian still didn't call her "Auntie" when outside. She said depressedly, "What's going on?"
As I said, she doesn’t really care about which position she holds, but Zhong Changyao doesn’t care!
"Becoming a hero isn't just about completing missions." Xiao Yuan shook his finger at her and said earnestly, "Think about it, what do people like to watch?"
What do you like to see? Yun Xian said uncertainly: "Turning the tide? Twists and turns?"
"No, no, no." Xiao Yuan said, "Guess something even more vulgar!"
Yun Xian was stunned and said, "It's hard to say with so many people here now."
"I didn't ask you to be so vulgar!" Xiao Yuan's hand holding the cup trembled. He said, "How can there be so many big things in life? Think about it, what do people usually want to see? Are you eloquently debating with a white-haired old lady and getting hung up and beaten? Or are you fighting a demon cultivator in the Spirit Severing Stage with a sword? The latter one might be a bit interesting because the demon cultivator didn't wear clothes properly. What people want to see is the joy of revenge! The sea of hatred and love! The mountains are gone and the sky and the earth are united! The sword is used to kill you. Look at Zhong Changyao's story. The princess escapes the marriage, the childhood sweetheart falls from the sky, the Shura field, the conspiracy and intrigue, the love and hate entanglement, which one is not a popular theme?"
Yun Xian: “…………”
Where do all these buzzwords and buzzwords come from?! Did he learn it from that Yu Ni Bo Bo Mian Mian Jian?! And how can Laughing Buddha, who's so powerful, have the nerve to call someone "grandma"?!
"There are more." Xiao Yuan said, "Count carefully. Apart from the Four-Way War, how many people witnessed your heroic moment during the Tangling Rebellion?"
Yun Xian: "Including you and the old man from Xingyan Sect, there should only be a few elders."
Xiao Yuan: "What about the Smiling Buddha incident this time?"
Yun Xian counted on his fingers: "You. Master Mingguang... No, these should be considered teammates. Liu Hui? Liu Chang? Wangcai, Erni, Aunt Zhang..."
"Will Liu Hui and Liu Chang be so kind as to help you spread the word about how brave and heroic you are?" Xiao Yuan shook his finger and said, "Of course not. It's good enough that they don't add grease to your pot."
"Zhong Changyao, while not particularly capable, is incredibly scheming. He either doesn't do it, or chooses to do it when he can make a splash. Who in their right mind would stage a spectacle in the middle of a busy city? Isn't it just for the public to see?" Xiao Yuan raised his head to drink again and mumbled, "Xiao Yunxian, you always go to those remote places. No matter how hard or tiring it is, how many people can understand? It's normal for it to be hard to make a name for yourself."
Yun Xian felt that what she said made perfect sense: "But Pavilion Master, weren't these all tasks assigned to me by you?"
Xiao Yuan: “…”
Yun Xian: "Why are your eyes closed?"
"I'm sorry I fainted from the wine just now." Xiao Yuan quickly stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about something else."
Everyone: “…”
You two are truly a family. Even your skill in changing the subject is so clumsy and identical.
"Also, let me ask you something." It seemed Xiao Yuan was determined to tell Yun Xian about the dangers of the cultivation world. She continued, "Do you know why some people, even if they're not that powerful, are still called 'great heroes,' while you're often just called 'young hero'?"
Yun Xian: "Age?"
"That's one aspect, but it's only a small part." Xiao Yuan said, "Look at Su Chi. He's only four or five years older than you, so why hasn't he ever been called a young hero?"
Xue Lingxiu suddenly said, "He looks old."
"Brother Cai." Ji Rongxue said quietly, "Don't be jealous."
Xue Lingxiu: “?”
Yun Xian shook his head. Xiao Yuan said, "Temperament. Real heroes are very mysterious. They do everything without revealing their feelings, so people can't tell what they are thinking. You are too eccentric on a daily basis, so it's easy to look unreliable."
"So, Master Mingguang is the most reliable." Yun Xian thought about it and it made sense. Otherwise, why would Mingguang insist on making himself look old even though he's not that old yet? He suddenly felt dejected: "Alas..."
Is it true that being a hero these days requires all-round development in morals, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor? Can't we give honest people a chance to make a living?
"Yun Xian, if you want to calculate it this way," Feng Ye consoled him, "Zhong Changyao only managed to beat you by a hair's breadth after adding in his Taoist partner's score. If it weren't for Shu Jiuwei, he would definitely be ranked much lower than you."
Jimo Shu sneered, "You know how to rub it."
"It's his ability to get it." Xiao Yuan stroked Yun Xian's head all the way to his back like he was petting a puppy. He patted him, but the feeling wasn't very good, just hard. "If you want to suppress him, it's easy. Didn't Mingguang invite you to visit the Western Realm? Just go, and do it with great fanfare. Once the tabloids are out, you can get it too."
Yun Xian: “…” Now he has truly become a friend of Buddhism.
However, Yun Xian frowned slowly when he looked at the unknown representative forces and sects behind Zhong Changyao's name.
No one knows where the demon princess Shu Jiuwei is. Originally in the storybook, she was not in the Northern Realm, but now she appears in Qiankun City with Zhong Changyao. She has reason to suspect that Zhong Changyao is about to start his heaven-defying cause again.
Sure enough, a sentence came hurriedly from below:
"I heard that the Sword Sect is inviting Zhong Changyao to be their guest. Is this news true?"
"Isn't Zhong Changyao a sword cultivator? Why would he go to the Sword Sect..."
Yun Xian and Qiao Lingshan looked at each other and almost immediately thought of the magic sword that Liu Fushang had just mentioned.
Taiping is now with him, and the leader has been snatched away again. Zhong Changyao really doesn't have a magic weapon that suits him. Could it be...
Yun Xian thought that he might have to go to the Sword Sect even if he didn't want to.
Feng Ye thought that he might have to wear this women's clothing whether he wanted to or not.
Everyone took a small golden bell the size of a thumb and prepared to go eat together.
When they first started completing the Heavenly Grade mission, everyone was quite excited. But now that they were familiar with it, a look of numbness like office workers gradually appeared on everyone's face.
During this period, Xiao Yuan has to supervise Yun Xian to consolidate her basics and practice sword moves, so naturally he will not let her take on any more tasks.
Ji Rongxue was still walking in the front. Xue Lingxiu watched her walk to a secluded place and shouted, "Where are you going? We are going to Wangyue Tower!"
Yes, although Xue Lingxiu looked very angry, he finally agreed to treat everyone to a meal. Although Wangyuelou was a well-known restaurant in Qiankun City and its prices were quite expensive, it was just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy Brother Xue.
Ji Rongxue turned smoothly and walked towards Wangyue Tower.
Poor witch Jimo Shu was dragged away by Yun Xian again. The more Qiao Lingshan looked at her, the more she felt that, regardless of the color scheme or clothing style, as long as Jimo Shu stopped constantly threatening to "skin you alive," it would be easy for her to infiltrate the Hehuan Sect.
I don't know why Jimo Shu hasn't returned to the Demon Cult since the Four-way War. Why didn't the Demon Cult leader send anyone out to look for her? Could it be that the Demon Cult also has a free-range style?
In any case, the group had a rare opportunity to stroll along the street leisurely, so they immediately slowed down their pace and took in the lively street scene.
Of course, Yun Xian's eyes were focused on the tabloid again. It would have been fine if he hadn't read it, but once he did, he was furious:
Ya Jian Zhong Chang Yao: My Sword Will Never Point at Women
I feel bad for your injury, but I still love her in my sword
Exclusive Unveiling of Yajian Zhong Changyao's Mental Journey: From Lows to Highs, Staying True to His Intentions
"Why is it that the writing about me is such a mess, but the writing about him is so good?!" Yun Xian angrily said, "Am I not worthy? He looks like he has kidney deficiency! And what about Ya Jian? He can't even carry two bottles of soy sauce!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Feng Ye pointed at the title weakly and said, "Look, he bought this. If he didn't spend money to buy it, maybe no one would be willing to mention him."
Yun Xian took a closer look and saw that next to each favorable title there was a barely visible word "Recommend" written on it. He immediately fell silent: "..."
Still using this trick? ! !
She picked up her pen and wrote the word "fart" in huge letters next to the tabloid. After a while, everyone came back and found that the two words had been erased and a line of small words had been added below:
"You are not allowed to slander Brother Yajian!!"
Everyone: “…………”
Forget it, saying this will only make you angry. Eat your food, eat your food.
The baby pigeons at Wangyue Tower were of the highest quality, with crispy skin, tender meat, and a rich, juicy texture. A single bite left a lingering fragrance. The private room couldn't accommodate so many people, so they simply found a round table on the second floor. Since it was soundproofed, they couldn't hear the conversations at the neighboring tables. Yun Xian took a bite, wiped his mouth, and suddenly had an idea: "I remembered I forgot to bring something."
It was either paper or chopsticks. Xue Lingxiu glanced at her and said worriedly, "Remember to wash your hands again when you get to the table. Do you hear me?"
Yun Xian nodded repeatedly, but when he came up again, not only did he not wash his hands, he also brought a senior brother with him.
Su Chi also looked a little confused. It seemed that he thought he was going to fight, with his sword still on his waist, but he didn't expect that he was brought here to eat.
Xue Lingxiu: “…”
Why does it seem so unpleasant to watch this person who is disloyal to his own people?
But since he was already here, he couldn't possibly ask him to leave, so Ji Rongxue made room for him and let him sit next to Yun Xian.
On the other side of Yun Xian is Jimo Shu. It is obvious that Jimo Shu will not take the initiative to make room.
Feng Ye slowly ate his squab while observing everyone in a dark corner. He had been accustomed to being crowded here for a long time, and because his presence was weak, no one would often notice him observing him.
Miss Ji gnawed on a pigeon... no, it looked like she was frantically inhaling it. It was then that he realized Miss Ji actually had canine fangs on both sides, and they weren't just for fun. They gleamed coldly, and if she'd been bitten, Xue Lingxiu wouldn't have known how to get stitches. Young Master Xue was as elegant as ever, his hands refusing to get even a lick of oil. It was exhausting to watch. And Yun Xian's eating was still as unsightly as ever, but delicious. He'd known that. Qiao Lingshan was only slightly better, but Jimo Shu...
Why does Jimo Shu look angry?
He observed her again with some horror and found that the more delicious the food Jimo Shu ate, the more tense her expression became, as if a pigeon was hitting her in the stomach.
It’s really... incomprehensible, everyone is so unique.
Su Chi didn't eat much. He didn't seem to be very keen on food—or rather, he didn't have anything he was passionate about. There was nothing to do just sitting there. However, he didn't show any intention of leaving. Instead, he asked Yun Xian, "Where did you go for fun?"
"I didn't go out to play, I went to the Xuanbao Pavilion." Yun Xian used his mouth to do two things at once, eating and speaking clearly at the same time, "Big Brother, do you still remember Zhong Changyao in the Four Directions Secret Realm? I tell you, he really pissed me off..."
She went on and on, then said, "Don't you think it's infuriating?"
Su Chi: “Yeah.”
"Also..." Yun Xian continued, "My aunt asked me to visit the Buddhist temple, but I thought it was too far and too troublesome to take a carriage, and I would have to eat vegetarian food when I got there..."
Everyone was shocked by Su Chi's composure. He didn't even show any signs of impatience and could even respond from time to time.
Just as Yun Xian said, "That soy sauce sword really has another conspiracy...", her ankle exposed under the table seemed to be gently rubbed by something.
Yun Xian was stunned and looked down.
It was the tip of a white fox's tail, which gently hooked her and swayed gracefully.
Yun Xian: “…”
Her first reaction was, "Am I really that attractive now?", her second was, "No, I'm still the golden statuette", and her third was, she turned around and looked back.
Not far away, sitting next to me, a white-haired girl with a fox tail and fox ears was leaning on the beauty couch alone. Her eyes were seductive, her white jade-like hands were soft as if they had no bones, her tail was flapping up and down with the wind, her red lips were slightly parted, and she seemed to say something with some displeasure.
The pigeon in front of me was barely touched and was almost getting cold.
Although both are "charming", their styles are very different from Jimo Shu's. Jimo Shu is aggressive and flirtatious, while she has taken softness to the extreme, even to the point of being somewhat deliberate. Even when she turns over on the beauty bed, she always shows off her body curves, as if every movement is carefully planned.
Noticing everyone's gaze, Shu Jiuwei slowly raised his eyes, first looking away for a moment in fear, then looking over shyly.
Everyone: “…………”
Is this something a humane banshee would do?
You just came here to eat roasted pigeon, why do you have to be like this!!!
